To help these new releases, Blackmagic Design has additionally rolled out DaVinci Resolve 19.1.4, DaVinci Resolve Studio 19.1.4, Fusion Studio 19.1.4, and the Blackmagic Camera 9.3 Update, which incorporates expanded help for the URSA Cine 12K LF. These updates guarantee seamless post-production workflows for the 17K and 8K RAW information.

“Iceland”

French filmmaker Florent Piovesan, founding father of Of Two Lands, pushed the URSA Cine 17K 65 to its limits whereas filming the sweeping landscapes of Iceland, which have been made well-known by blockbusters like Prometheus, Interstellar, and Game of Thrones.

“I’ve shot on Blackmagic’s cameras before, so I found it pretty easy to understand the URSA Cine 17K 65,” Piovesan shared. “I have tried to capture the breadth and depth of Iceland on S.35 cameras before, but it didn’t do the landscape justice. The landscape is just too big for most sensors to handle. Whereas the 2.2:1 open gate 65mm sensor could capture everything including the three-dimensional depth to this landscape.” Piovesan chosen Tokina Vista Cine prime lenses to protect the authenticity of the panorama. “For the first time, my cinematography could capture what I was seeing and feeling. Everything just looked epic, straight out of a Hollywood movie.”

The huge decision of 17K additionally gave Piovesan artistic flexibility in post-production. “I also find shooting 17K gives you more options in post, just because you can punch in and pull three or more scenes from the same shot in 4K. So 65mm cinematography gives you more separation, a wider perceived field of view, and extra-dimensional space than a full frame. That makes shooting 65mm cinematography on a Blackmagic Camera the perfect choice for documentaries, and I think it could also be great for TVCs too.”

“The Ranch”

Cinematographer Dylan Rucker took the URSA Cine 17K 65 to the dry, sandy landscapes of the American West to seize “The Ranch.” The mission adopted real-life cowboys and cowgirls driving horses and driving vehicles throughout expansive desert backdrops.

“I love working with cameras that bring out colors and textures true to what I see,” Rucker mentioned. “65mm cinematography is as close as you get to seeing in real life. Even when shooting on a 24mm lens, the field of view is like a 14mm, but without the distortion you’d get with full frame.” Rucker was significantly impressed by the digicam’s portability and options. “Having a 65mm sensor in a camera the size of the URSA Cine means you can easily throw it on a drone, car rig, Steadicam, or techno crane. The 16 stops of latitude and the dual operator/assistant monitors really speed things up.”

The digicam’s high-speed capabilities proved very best for motion scenes. “This camera has off speeds that were great for some of the horse scenes, and surprisingly, it will also shoot in 8K and 4K as well.”

Both “Iceland” and “The Ranch” reveal the facility of the URSA Cine 17K 65 to ship immersive, true-to-life cinematic experiences. Download the mission information and RAW clips now on Blackmagic Design’s Gallery page. Check out the bts movies under.
